After we a two year search we have found our new International Spiral Movement Center studio! This amazing building was built by a Swiss engineer on an acre of land in Thailand and was practically given to us at low cost. The space features a 2nd floor movement studio and enough space to host visiting families locally and abroad. In the future we hope to expand the property to include a prototyping workshop to create low-cost equipment for kids with disabilities, a film studio for online content creation, and an outdoor pavillion & cabins for trainings and retreats. Along with our new studio in Toronto, we hope to continue to bring Spiral Praxis forwards—viva la bodymind! ❤️
